The flying itself is easy. The places we go to are ones we have been to many times before,unless there is a trip thrown in to a place where no one has been before. Then it can get a little demanding.. We do have some very long days, especially when double crewing.
For the most part the guys are great to fly with. There is always that 1-2% you can't stand to be with, but that's anywhere you work. If you get paired up with a crew that constantly complains about the company or the union or whatever, then it can a very long 17 days. I try not to get too wrapped around the axle about anything anymore. I just go to work and try to make the best of it and go home. .
Does the company do the stupid things mention in these posts, yes they do. Do we deserve a better CBA, yes we do. Some may agree or disagree about what I said, but it is what you make it. If you don't like it then leave.This company and job is not for everyone.
Just my two cents.
